New Directions in Elementary School Math

Autor Emma E. Holmes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 1995
For junior/senior courses in Elementary School Mathematics Methods and Materials.
A new text that focuses on “interactive teaching”, a new, more effective technique for helping elementary-school children learn mathematics! This exciting technique is the lynchpin of a fresh approach to teaching mathematics based on the constructivist theory of learning. It uses modeling, manipulatives, and questioning techniques to encourage learners to reason, problem-solve, communicate, and make connections as they think about numbers and space, construct concepts, and develop procedures for solving mathematical problems.

Caracteristici

  • the text's interactive teaching approach, with its focus on reasoning, problem-solving, and communicating, has been proven effective with children at all levels of mathematics competence.
    • these ideas are set forth as exemplars by the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics of the NCTM.
    • the effectiveness of the text's suggestions is supported by strategic references to research throughout the material.
    • an introductory problem for solution at the start of every chapter offers an overview of the mathematics and pedagogy to be discussed in the chapter.
  • coverage examines the use of models and children's intuitive understanding to help young learners develop mathematics concepts and learn problem-solving procedures.
    • included are dozens of practical, class-tested examples of how teachers guide children to construct meaning through mental connections, working alone and in groups, and communicating their ideas effectively.
    • included are guidelines for developing experiences appropriate to the mathematics concepts being explored, as well as ideas for how to create assignments and ask “the right type” of questions that lead to higher-order thinking skills.
  • discussion of assessment is provided in each chapter.
    • Chapter One provides an overview of mathematics assessment.
    • other chapters contain a section on assessment techniques related to the specific content presented in that chapter.
  • a chapter is devoted to using interactive teaching with children with special needs.
    • coverage addresses the needs of minority and culturally-diverse children, as well as ways to eliminate gender bias in mathematics instruction.
    • discussions include ideas for teaching children with disabilities, and gifted children, in the regular mathematics classroom.
